Feeling Thankful.

Lately everyone has had really sweet 'i'm thankful' posts and I'd love to get in on the action. I've been feeling very thankful and blessed lately. I was reading a fellow bloggers recent post (I don't know how to add a link sorry haha). But it was about Angels being among us. And i think that is so true. I have to share a story! I hope this doesn't embarrass anyone haha. So, alot of Sundays, my husband works. So, most Sundays, i sit alone during Sacrament meeting in the back of the room. Sometimes, I can't help but see all the families and feel kinda silly being alone. A few Sundays ago, I was sitting in my usual spot, when a little boy, S, came up to me and said.. "Sister Hess, do you want to come sit with my family and you can hold my baby sister if you want" How sweet is that? So i got my bags and sat with his family. And just that simple act of kindness from the B family really stuck with me. I thought it was so absolutely kind of them to see me and think to ask me to join them. I do believe that there truly are angels among us. They don't have to do huge mighty things to be noticed. But small acts of kindness... they sure go a long way. What a beautiful example that family was to me. I'm grateful for that!

What i was MOST excited about was.. LOOK!... The PW herself signed my calendar!! I know i know, don't be jealous ;)
So today my good friend Liz came into the office and said she'd bought me and her something at the mall last night. And she hoped i would like it.... She then handed me an even Cooler calendar!.....
Cool, Right!?

Ah, its gonna be a good year in my office :)

Time Out for Women!

So this past weekend was Time Out for Women in Nashville! It was so fun. Me, Jessica, and Hannah loaded up the car and headed out Friday at around noon. When we got there the hotel wasn't 'ready' so we ventured to the mall, ate lunch.. then came to our hotel and got ready. We headed to the convention center and had a really great time! We ran into alot of familiar faces from home! It was kinda scary driving.. it was our first time going out of town just us! But it was a blast and I'm so glad we got the opportunity to go!! Heres some pics!.....
